One-day tour in Jiujiang | Guide to Donglin Temple and Donglin Big Buddha in Lushan

The Donglin Big Buddha belongs to Donglin Temple, but it is not in Donglin Temple, but a separate location, about 20 kilometers apart, there is a shuttle bus between the temples. 👉🏻Donglin Temple: A thousand-year-old temple is the birthplace of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. The temple established in the Western Jin Dynasty has a long history, and the fortune-telling is very accurate. ✔Fortune-telling: In the tower next to the lotus pond, after drawing lots, remember to go around the pagoda three times, and five times for the lower sign. ✔Making a connection: You can make a free connection when you go to Donglin Temple. You can choose your favorite Dharma implement to make a connection. It is in the Merit Hall on the left when you enter the main hall. After entering, first worship Buddha. ✔Incense money: Incense money is given voluntarily. There is a QR code for payment in every hall in Donglin Temple. You can not bring cash, but I think cash is more sincere. 📷Photography: The place to take pictures is of course the small square at the entrance of the main hall. Remember not to take pictures of Buddha statues, it is very disrespectful. ✨What to wear: You can't wear too revealing clothes and skirts and shorts above the knee.

If you feel that your clothes are not very good that day, you can go to the temple to get a Haiqing to worship Buddha and return it. ✨Clasp your hands together: You will often see pictures of shouting Amitabha in the temple. Your hands should be together. When someone says Amitabha to you, you can also say Amitabha to others. ✨There are vegetarian foods near Donglin Temple.
